Yeah, sure looks like they're making the best of both by
sending out a plethora of literature for seminars and the
like. Today, for example, I received =three= different

Last time I checked my e-mail, they still didn't have even a
=tentative= release date for any "non-Signal" 5.0 Beta.
Also, I've never known any s/w company to blow a projected
release date by =2 years= as was the case with 3.5. Why
should we expect Omega to handle 5.0 =differently=?
Best regards,
